Question

Some card abilities have you “take” damage like Klaws Sound Manipulation treachery. In those cases, is the damage “dealt” first? I’m wanting to make sure that something like Aerial Evacuation could save another friendly character from those type of effects. Basically is it safe to say that damage of any kind is always dealt before a character takes it? There’s a bullet in the rules under damage that says “When damage is dealt to a character, that character takes damage” but I didn’t see one that covers the reverse.

Answer

Yes, the damage taken by Sound Manipulation is also dealt to the Hero, and that damage can be prevented by Aerial Evacuation.
